Application led March 4, 1907. Serial No. 360,464-

To @ZZ whom `t may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUsT UEBERLE, 'a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Toy, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to toys designed for childrens use, and consistsprimarily of a doll and means connected therewith adapted to enable thedoll to be placed in different positions and made capable of variousmovements to suit the fancy of the user.

Other objects relating to the special arrangement and specificconstruction of the several parts of my invention will be understoodfrom the accompanying drawings and following description, in whichdrawings Figure 1 is a side view of a device embodying my invention;Fig. 2 is a sectional front view of the upper portion of the same, takenon the line 2-2 of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a deviceembodying a portion of my invention.

As illustrated in the drawings, a doll 1 is provided with arms 2 whichare held in an upwardly extending position by means of bands 3 attachedto the wrists of the doll, and to snap hooks 4 which in turn engage eyes5 attached to the outer ends of a yoke 6. Hangers 7 are also attached tolthe hooks 4, and extending downwardly support a seat 8 at their lowerends forming a swing for the doll. The yoke 6 is pivotally attached to acarriage 9 by means of a pivot pin 10.. The carriage 9 is provided withwheels 1 1 adapted to engage a line l2, the ends of which are providedwith snap hooks 13 and 14 respectively, adapted to be attached toopposite walls of a room, or otherwise suitably suspended. One end 13 ofthe line is preferably elevated above the opposite end 14 so as to makean inclined way.

The child in using the device moves the toy to the upper end of the lineand releases its hold thereon, permitting the carriage to descend to thelower end of the line. The yoke 6 being preferably pivoted to thecarriage 9 permits the doll to be rotated on the carriage so as to facethe direction in which it is moving, either up or domi the line. It isobvious that in addition to the bodily movement of the swung andcarriage along the line 12, the swing may be operated in a linetransversely of the carriage independently of any movement of thecarriage on the line.

The detachable snap hooks 4 to which the swing hangers 7 andthe wristbands 3 are attached may be secured in a manner diiferent from thatshown in Fig. 1, if desired. Thus, these parts may be attached to across bar 15 mounted upon standards 16.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. The combination of a doll having upliftedarms, wrist bands secured to said arms, hooks connected with said wristbands, hangers connected with said hooks, and a se'at attached to saidhangers.

2. The combination of a doll having uplifted arms, wrist bands attachedto said arms, hooks connected with said wrist bands, a swing connectedwith said hooks, and a yoke supporting said hooks.

3. The combination of a doll having uplifted arms, wrist bands attachedto said arms, hooks connected with said wrist bands,

a swing connected with said hooks, a yoke supporting said hooks, and acarriage pivotally connected with said yoke and provided with wheels.

4. The combination with a line, of a carriage provided with wheelsadapted to ride on said line, a yoke pivotally mounted centrally of saidcarriage, hooks attached to the ends of said yoke, a swing havinghangers attached to said hooks, and a doll seated on saidA swing withuplifted arms provided with wrist bands secured to said hooks.

In testimony whereof I have name to this specification in the twosubscribing witnesses.
